T.ALL CEDARS BINGO TOMORROW NIGHT ORANGE HALL fourteen with Dr. -Bushnell and Mr. Brown, will not be able to cover the whole town in the event of a. widespread raid they will-act aa a nucleua from which Informa- tion and relatively untrained per- sonnel will stem. Either Dr. Buah- nell, Mr. Brown, or R. F."Hawley will be at the report center dur- ing- any alert to relay distress calls. ’The gas decontamination squad Itself will be stationed, half at the Rogers. Paper Mill to care fon the North End. and at the garage -of. the Independent Cloak Company, for the -South, End. At both placet there will be a truck to transport them to the scene of the attack. These twelve men who have volunteered their time for the Course and for the dangerous work of decontamination if It is necessary are, pesidea the men al- ready mentlqned, A. Stevenson, J. Friedman, J. W'itkowski, J. Mc- Cann, L. Wlntz, C. Maron, H. Greenberger, M. Angel, J. Kamin- sky, J. Coughlin and C. Miller. Trucks are Provided To aid this gas squad in trans- porting victims* John Dwyer, head pf the ambulance division under the. A.R.P. has arranged for four open trucks to be stationed at the North Srhpol during alarms. They will take the Casualties for the first emergency treatment to the East Side or the 'West. Side Rec- reation Centers, or to the. Y.M.C.A., whichever is nearest, if further treatiqent is necessary the casual- ty wiir be transferred to the Me- morial hospital. Successful treatment of a gas casualty' demands quick work. With a gas ' causing bums, of which lewisite and mustard are the most common, the clothes will be stripped from the casualty and any indicated first aid treatment given. He w1U then be wrapped ' In newspapers and transported at vent fciistering. The chloride of lime is invaluable In neutralizing lewisite or mustard gas where the shower bath Is not Immediately available. It should be made into a very thin paste and spread on the body. Five minutes later it should be • washed off, first with water and then with alcohol. Fur- ther and more detailed information on first aid for gas casualties and on the recognition of the dlstlncUve odors of the various gases can be learned from the four-page supple- ment to their First Aid book which the Red Crosa has just issued and which can be secured free at the Red Cross office here as soon aa an expected new shipment arrives from headquartets in Washington. Protective Measures All this organizing against a gas attack Is a routine protective measure. According to militOVy experts the chances are ag^at such a disaster coming upon' us. Nevertheless to train civilian leaders in gas defense the Con- necticut State Defense Council- is holding a gas defense clinic in Hartford this Friday and Saturday in which ten places'have been as- signed to Manchester resident's. Also the Chemical Warfare Serv- ice of the Army continues to train civilian leaders In gas defense at its school at EMgewood Arsenal, Maryland. Ita officials give as a reason their belief that the most logical vlctlrh from the Axis stand- point for a gaa attack is a civil population which hasn’t been train- ed to take care ‘ of Itself. Dr. Bushnell, Mr. Brown, and their as- aiatanta are proceeding on thia same theory.

The principal change dlacusoed by the secretary-at his press con- iUllbiHies Drive 1920 Ford To Nmv York on ^Lamp OiV Moscow, July 24. — The Red Army took its stand today on the banks of the broad lower Don for a last ditch defense of the northern Caucasus against a still fur- ther reinforced Axis on- slaught which overran the Dohets basin, beat at Rostov, and heightened the menace to Stalingrad. United States built planes — especially two - motor Dougloa Boston bombers—were thrown into the fight for the Cau- casus In greater numbers than ever before on the. Russian front. Develop Flank Attack The Russians reported holding 08 best they could in positions to which they .withdrew in the Novo- cherkassk area,' 20 miles north- east of Rostov, and iald they de- veloped a flank attack against the right wing of the Nazi Don river front at TslmlyMsk., mid-way be- tween Rostov and Stalingrad.. The Red Army counter-attack bespoke the Russians' determina- tion at any cqst to keep the (Cau- casus from'iso ation by holding tbe Tikhoretsk-Sta'.ingred rail line, last railway link to. the far south- ern front. , - Ths threat to this line was sharply drawn by the Nazi ad- vance upon (Tsimlyansk, just north of the Don at a point where the river curves within 35 miles of the railway. Bombers Attack Day and Night As the Red Army battled to bold back the invaders, Russian bomb- ers were attacking day and night, pounding thk Axis reinforcements which streamed up through a great area simmering with heat waves and plumed with the smoke of battle. By night a half-moon lent its yellow light to the fields ablaze with fires, the red spouting flashes of artillery and the glow of air- plane flares. Twelve hou-a after announcing withdrawal' in the Novocher- kassk zone. 20 miles northeast oT^ Rostov, the Soviet Information Bureau said fighting continued there from new positions.' 'Our men repulsed attacks by numerically superior enemy forces.” it said. "In one narrow sector alone the Gerftiahs lost 17 tanks and more than 800 n killed.” Two attacks by German tanks and automatic rifle men near Tsimlyonak, on the Don approx! mately midway between Ros- and Stalingrad, were repelled and Soviet units then struck at the Nazi flank. The Russians knocked out nine German tanks and killed more than 400 of the automatic rifle men, it was declared. Despite oensidefable tank losses. It was evident that German armor still was formidable. Russian planes took to the air to attack the land columns. The Army newspaper Red Star headlined: •'Fighters of tl\e Red Army!

    Washington. July. 24— (Wide W orld)—Events of recent weeks certainly have given little reason for. optimism on the part of smaller industrialists still outside the war effort.

    The W PB estimate that one out of every eight ihanufacturlng companies in the nation ■will be closed lip for the duration waa accompanied by the statement that the mortality might be even higher.

    T\vo' .Main Facets Remain Two main facets of hope-' -and

    T h e Smaller War Plants Corporation.

    Suggestions from WPB and else- 'vhere that the government subsidize smaller plant* which are use-' less to the War effort. The subsidy would not keep the plant in corporation, but .would preserve the company aa a financial unit.

    America is just learning how fast a modem war gobbles up steel and light metals and nihber and lumber. ' And WPB. hard-presard to find enough raw materials to keep the war machine rolling, ha* made it clear that no money dr

    ■ material* will be expended where litey do not return pound for pound to-the war effort.

    TTlon. In- a sentene'e apparently aimed at the niilitarHy helpless Inhabitants of A.xis-occupled countries, he added:

    "There i.s no surer way for.men and nations to show them.selvey worthy of liberty than- to fight for its, preservation, in any way that is open to them, against tho.se who would dc.-itroy it ail." *

    Haye SiipiMirt of .\nieiiean.*In further emph.a.sis of the theme

    ttiat those who would be free must •show themselves willing to fight agalnut the despoiler* of freedom, Hull asserted that in this vast conflict the whole-hearted support of Americans is dedicated to thoae who are:

    1. Fighting f,»r the preservation of their freedom.

    2. Fighting to fegain the freedom of which they have been brutally deprived, or

    3. Fighting for the ' opportuiii|yto achieve freedom. '

    .Without specifically mentioning the acute tension in India over Nationalist leaders' insistence on Immediate independence.: Hull said:

    "W e have always believed—and we believe today—that all’ peoples, without distinction of race, color, or religion, who are prepared and willing to accept the responsibilities of liberty, are entitled to its enjoyment.'■

    The full measure of American influence, he added significantly, will be used to support-attainment of freedom by "peoples who, by their aicts, show themselves wor-

    among nations re.xsonably'assured .with political stability eaUttllahed, with economic shackles removed! a vast fund of resources vMlI be' relca.sed in each n.itlon to meet the need* o f progress, to make po-ssible for all o f its citizen* an advancetnent toward higher living standards, to Invigorate the con- strucUve fofees of initiative and enterjjrUe.

    Points to Firing. Squads'Those who think the short-cut

    to freedom lies in cooperation with Hitler or the Japanese warlords, he suggested, "need only look at the firing squads in Poland, Czechs oslovakia, Norway; Fiance, Yugoslavia."

    He reiterated:•There is no chance for liberty

    for any people anywhere save- through the victory of the freepeople.*. Never did a plainer duty to fight against its foes devolve upon all peoples who prize liberty and all who aspire to it. . . .

    "We sh.all send all the aid-that we can to our gallant Allies. And we shall seek out our enemies and attark them at any and every point of the globe at which the destruction of the Axis force* can be accomplished most effectively, most speedily and most certainly,

    "However" lonjt the road, we shall press on to the final .victory.”

    Illffleiilt Transition PeriodAfter victory, Hull pointed out.

    Will come the difficult period of transithin from w a r to peace. During this period the United Nation* m.usl cooperate' to provide quick relief for starving populations, to restore public order and a semblance of normal Ilf* in wartom a.rea*.

    To prevent a new outbreak of war, " I t 1* plain that some international agency must be created which can—by force if. necessary —keep the peace among the nations ir.*the future." Such intemS' liji.a l cooperative action muat include. "adjustment of national arm.-’ menta.• " I t ia equally clear.’ ’- Hull added. "that In the p'rocesa of r«- eatabliihing Intemational order, the United Nationa muat exercise surveillance over aggreaaor nations until such time aa the latter demonstrate their wiUlngneaa and ability to live at peace with other nations."

    •Mus* Reduce T a iiff Barrier*To restore world trade and "the

    jmmeasureable benefits of intern*-' tional exchange o f goods and services" there muat bis , reduction of tariff barriers. "Equally plain is the need foi^making national currencies once more freely exchangs- abia for each other at stable rates of exchange; for •* system ot financial relations so devised that materials can be produced and ways may be ^fousd o f moving them where there are markets ■created by human need."

    And - so finally, "with peace

    _ Only In Blueprint StageWhen the United Stat'ea entered

    the war. the welded M-4 tank waa only in a blueprint stage.' In January Fiaher Body received a contract to build the new tvpc o f battle wagon, and although the first tank was not scheduled to be built until the new plant waa completed engineers went to work immediately in another factory. The .first of the M-4’a waa turned out In 47 days. By the time the new plant

    IS finished large numbers of the new tanks had been started their way to the battle front.

    Alread.v, according to word received by the company, the new M-4's have, had their baptism of fire.

    No rush at the local gas stations the last two days has been reported. They have been furnished one third of their storage capacity and as they sell the gasoline and'turn, hack their coupons they will be given additional gas for each gillon sold.

    many who had failed to register for their gasoline last week. TTiis morning when a special session •Started at 9:30 a large crowd was at the Lincoln school.

    It has been aUted that those who have been given additional gasoline would have their names piiblinhed. This is untrue. There have been so many requests made and ao many have been granted the additional gaadllne that the only way the list can. be secured is by calling at the local office.

    About 30 Hebron people were present at the hearing Wednesday at 11 a. m., at the labile Office Building, Hartford, on the question of a change in the Short Line Bus route by which Hebron would be accommodated In a communter trip to Hartford operating between New London and the Capitol mty via Marlborough. A trial trip ^ at least 30 days was asked

    ', though one man appearing for Hebron suggested a three-month trtal yqstead. According to the plan dlMugsed a daily trip through Hebron Cenfer and return was planned. The representative of the Short Line Company believed that in order to- make 'the trip pay there should be a patremage of 10 passengers daily. The rsMon for the route through the New London Turnpike from ODlchesUs.^to Marlborough instead of thitnit^ Hebron, is an item of a difference of four miles in distance. The route through Hebron however Is a much better road, with lesa h'illa, and with the prospect of more patronage. Those appearing for Hebron included First Selectman Winthrop S Porter. Rep.

    It is likely that selecttoi\^ of a Jury of 12 to consider tiie 'l^.o- cence or guilt of Pastor Kurt Molr zahn of rtilladciphia on an esplon^ age conspiracy indictment will take time, posaibly most of the first week of trial.

    Judge J. Jo'-eph Smith will not decide, until trial open's, the question of selecting one or two alternates to guard againsC the possibility of a Juror falling ill.

    The government will ask for selection of alternates under provisions of the Isw, Thomas J. Dodd, Jr., special a.ssistant to the attorney general, «dd today while preparing the prosecution with ssi îst-' ant U. S. Attorneys Joseph P. Cooney and Valentine J. Sacco.

    Hull On The PeaceMost Americans, last night,

    tuned to their radios expecting, according to the previous announcement. to hear Secretary of State Hull dlscuaa "the seriousness of the war.”

    Instead, they heard him discussing the seriousness of the peace to follow our victory in this war. Many of us. perhaps, wondered Wb^ an obvious moment of crisis In the military trends of the war ahould be chosen as the time for a 4S minute discussion of the complicated problems that would follow an AlUed victory. Many of ur, perhaps, felt "let down” because we had not been told how the Ruealans were going to hold the Don, the British and Ameri- cina the Near East, the Chinese the Japs, and so on. These are the strikingly dramatic questions o f the day.

    But Secretary Hull, with a se- ranlty that included aasumpUon at eventual victory, no matter bow high the price that may have to be paid for it, talked of tomorrow—of the post-war tomorrow. He talked of peace alms, aot o f war alma. And this, to all who rcsdlge that saving our own nocks is only,the first task Im; posed upon us by t ^ war, to all who rightly belieVe that this war ■bould produce security for our

    'children and grandchildren aa wall ■o for ourselves, is an all-important function, fully deserving of 4g minutes of our time, even In the midst o f dramatic military erlaia.

    Secretary Hull. In many ways gave the reason for his own talk, but the' primary reason was con̂ tained^tn t^ese words:

    "The United Nations should from time to time, aq they did In adopting the Atlantic Charter, formulate and proclaim their common views regarding fundamental poUclaa which will chart for mankind a wise course baaed on ensuring essential valufa.”

    This la what Secretary Hull, speaking for America, was doing last night. His was one thought- demanding utterance among many which must come. If the people o f the United Nations are to stand behind their governments as these governments join together In the task of trying to build, not a mll- lenium, but a mea^rably better world. Building that kind of world will take, not the kind jtt courage which can.win a military battle, but mtellectual, spiritual, moral cuurage. , It will take

    . thoughtfulness and under.vtandfng, and a willingness to venture beyond, the l̂^outine of what must be dohe lnto the realm of what ought to be done. Once the military victory ia won. we shall need . the highest brand of courage for doing the things which may keep us from falling back Into another rapetltion of history', lî ith another world struggle 20 years from now.

    If Secretary HUH .did one particular service last night. It con- Mstad In bringing posUwar planning down from the visionary and purely idealistic atmospbers U baa held In aome speeches, bring- lag it down to the realm of aome Nalistic common sense. The four thsedoms. his words mad* clear, bra not things fo ^ apoon-fad to hB peoples. Tha "eppoftunlty" iM these freedoms will be open fen all. But nations like Germany and Japan must prove thoroughly tbslr right to deserve them. Other

    r lea who, Uke the people of in- clalin they are aspiring to laadom must stake and buttress ini proi-e their claim by the way feig dght for It. m the new world, •apMa and natUuia must help Unawelvec ^ b e prepared for and M>thy » f ^ srmld ayatem la IHcB aaUotts wiU help e«ch oth

    er. It will be no regiime of "something for nothing.” All the peoples of the earth, Americans included, will have to work and p lu for what they get.

    In the words of. Mr. Hull, "the vision, the. resolution, and the skill with which, the conditions of peacw,will be established and developed after the war will be as much a measure of man’s capacity for freedom and progress aa the fervor and . determination which men show in winning the victory.” ,

    This planning for peace has been, up to this time, the greatest gap In our war effort. There Is still a gap, for this was only the American secretary of. state speaking, just aa, in Nottingham yesterday, it was only the British Foreign Secretary speaking. The. two hations have not s^ken for-, mally together of the peace alpco the Atlantic Charter. Beyond acceptance of the post-war economic principlea contained in the .master lease-lend agreements, important enough In Itself, the UniUd States, Britain and Ru.ssla and China have not spoken formally together of post-war conditions at all. Secretary Hull presented his idea, and the American Idea, but we must come to the .presentation and formal adoption ' o f a United Nations idea for the postwar world. Mr. Hull, last night, was obviously heading in that direction.

    Your Meat

    tion, based on wbat Is known of Admiral Leahy's own experience.

    That experience, aa naval commander, as administrator, aa dlp- lorttat, 1s probably aignlflcant only in that it adds up to a . man the President can tnist and Yespcct Intimately, and a man who likewise has the respect of both army and navy. It makes Admiral Leahy a good man for the job; it doesn’t necessarily predict that, since he was in France, an Allied landing in France ia now an immediate certainty.

    His job, as defined by the President himself, will be to serve as'a clearing channel for Information and opinions atltl. reports coming up to the Pre8idenlA.^Vhether, beyond that, his experlen'Ce, and wl.s- dom and personality makixit po.s- stblie for him to exercise influence op decisions and policies, to weld ̂a closer unity between our arm.v and navy high commands, and to elp produce a strategy which is

    ejtpertly and accurately attuned to trib̂ k̂ind of war this is,, only time■ andvdevelopmehta will show.

    He may wind up the presiding strategical genius of this war. And then he maV remain nothing more than a high o*:der of presidential secretary. It depends upon how good he proves to be, as perhaps the vagueness of the/Rjresi- dent's announcement intended N l to-be.

    Washington in WartimeBy Jack Stinnett

    Washington.—The capital In Wartime:-

    Other than the White House, Blair House is probably the best known villa In Washington today.

    Few persons outside of the capital and not many Washingtonians had heard of it until the government took it over aa official residence for visiting royalty. It's across the street from the White House. President Prado of Peru was Ita first official tenant. King George of . Greece stayed there. So did -Ftuasia'a distinguished visitor. Commissar of Foreign Affairs Molotov; and young King Peter of Yugoslavia.

    The president of Colombia has just moved in and its next tenant will be Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. ’ •

    Now Penny drove leisurel/

    It has not taken very long for the gaps In our system of cost of living control to open wide enough for everyone to see them. People in eastern cities who are finding themselves faced with a meat Miortage are having first hand experience with the inevitable re- auit of farm bloc victories in Congress.' What has happened ia this.

    Price controls have been placed oh meats at the wholesale and re- tall levels. But the. farm bloc in Congress succeeded In forbidding the control of the prices the' meat growers can ask for their product. Afe a result, 'packing house* today find themselves asked to pay more for meat on the hoof than they can gA for it, under the. price ceiling, after It has been slaughtered. If they continued to buy from the growers at these prices, they would just be loalrTj more money for themselves. To stop losing moneys some of them are likely to close down.

    The growers, on the other hand, are hot altogether to blame. The same farm bloc, move which made it Impossible to control the prices the growers may aak for their cattle also made It lihposal- ble to control the price the growers have to pay to other members of the farm Industry for the feed

    . I for their stock. Without some control of the price of feed, growers cannot undertake to deliver the aame quality of meat at a stable price.. Thus, although the present sit

    uation may momentarily correct itself later in the season, when growers may have to bring their prices dowm in order to get rid of their stock, the same problem Is bound to keep recurring. In ever more sertoua. proportions, unless some rem.edy Is adopted, W'e are raising enough meat. But your individual supply of It depends upon one of three aoluUona, either a control of farm price* right dosvn to the roots, on government aubai dies .to packers for dressing and shipping ,^ e meat, or a new Increase in retail meat prices. All mqy be necessary In tha end. ..^exnwhlle, however,-perhaps the American people will stop thinking of the farm bloc aa some vague and shadowy element which ia getting a lot of criticism but which really hasn't done any damage. ^

    The farm bloc's auccesa in Washington is keeping the packers from getting meat aWA price which will bring jt to the American table. If you have to go without meat, or you have to pay higher prices for it when you do get it, if this factor in the coat of living leads to one more step up the perilous spiral ladder of inflation, the fact that the farm bloc has been permitted to contrul Congress is to blame.

    Perhapa, with a little more education at their own supper tables, tha American people, labor included, wUl come to demand conclu- aive, courageous, complete warfare against ihl)aUon, with no special exemptions granted.

    The Battle.Of StoogesTTiere are bound to be some per

    sonal victories In the New York state political aituatlon, but it difficult, to see how either major political party, or the nation Itself, can be anything but losers.

    The fight bAween President Roosevelt and "Jim” Farley la hot enough to finish Hitler, If the energy involved could only be directed against him. But; In the end, on the Democratic side, the choice is between two stooges—one Farley’s and the other the President's -aa candidate for governor. The

    President's probably deserves an edge, and might have it with the voters. *But Farley probably has the delegates, just aa he had them for Roosevelt In 1932. His stooge will probably run.

    The Democratic situation la en tirely likely to produce a.Reput; iican vl«tory. But such a victory, in its present significance, will not be good news for either the Republican party or the nation. For on the Republican aide it Is Thomas E.: Dewey who has the delegates. And when'it is Considered that' he labels this nomination his stepping atone toward the Republican nomination for President in 1944, then it becomes evident that hia defeat this time might be a very healthy thing for hia party, if It la, indeed, the oniy way to stop him from grabbing the 1944 nomination. Mr. Dewey can be built up, but he can't be magnified into a President, and l( would be a ciitne for the Republican party to waate ita nomination on him in 1944. The party has a sure 1944 winner, if it wantj him, in WendeU Willkie.

    But to those In the know, Blair House has been famous for more than 100 years. Francis Preston Blair-bought It In 1836 froifl thje then surgeon general of the army, who had built It a few years before. It has been remodeled, o f course, but It’s severe white stucco front and shuttered windows still present a facade that hides one of the best examples of early American architecture.

    Among Its' tenants were George Bancroft: the secretary of the navy for whom Bancroft Hall at Annapolis is named; John Mason, onetime minister to France; .Thomas Ewing, the first secretary OT, the interior, whose son-ln-isw waixto become .the famous civil war ^ n era l, Willlaiti Tecumseh SbermaiH and Thomas OonXrln, President 'Fillmore’s treasury sec-

    The Blair eaUte still owned the furnaces of the Kirk m ills-her house when It recently was leased j mills,to the governniant aa the official This, Penny knew, was where domicile for distinguished visitors. | »he belonged. In all the years she

    Few^ lf any, countries aa young j had spent abroad she had neverbefore thought "of Kirktown as anything more than the setting for Grandfathei; John'9 stories of a career that had brought hhn excitingly from poverty to riches.

    Now the Kirk mills belonged to Penny. For the first time in the 23 years of her leisurely, lazy life, she felt a sense of responsibility, a sense that here she wpuld find a constructive outlet for her energies, a mAning to living.

    She had been shSltered, too carefully, by indulgent parents who bad sought to protect her from harsh reality. They had never taken an interest in̂ the mills. Their life, and hers, 'had ben luxuriously idle. Now, alone, she would have to rebuild her life from foundations shattAed by the thunder of war over Europe.

    Penny felt as if she were riding In a fabulously rosy toy balloon. How different, she reflected, from her last long ride through

    Not since the depression years has Washington been so short on tourists. But the strange part of it is that the figures won’t tell the whole story.

    The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol tours are 'way off in attendance but that doesn't explain the story of the tourist shortage. The reason; - soldiers, sailors, marines on leave — and newcomers to the capital.

    Ask any member of one of those groups "what do you want to see first?—and the answer wijl be the Monument, Memorial or the Capitol. Most of them get their choice but it hasn't been enough to keep tourlst...flgure8 up to. recent years.

    of what the next few minutes might bring.

    In New York, Penny had gone to only one cocktail party. It'was no goAl. She ccniidn^ help contrasting the false, forced gaiety of her placid friends with the natural laughter of the ship-board children who werf so sincere in their appreciation of her half-reraem- bered stories.

    Without fanfare,, without so much as a single newspaper interview, without posing tor a slng.c rotogravure picture. Penny had left New York. "I ’m somebody new,” ■ she had told herself, "I left the old Penelope Kirk in France. Now I had better go home — really .home — and find myse/i again.”

    The Kirk estate, overlooking a Valley- that was green along its upper slopes and brown along the river that served the.steel mills, was more beautiful than she had dreamed it would be. Kirktown nestled like a doll village down below.

    Late in the afternoon of her unheralded arrival, af
